Hello, I'm a climber living in the US and planning a trip to Australia in 2006. To save money for this trip, I'm selling some used gear that I no longer use or need.

I also have some brand new gear that I bought but haven't used yet, I'm willing to part with them if the price is right. To be upfront with you, I'm not selling these at a loss to myself, of course. But as I understand they are still cheaper than most retail prices.

And if you're looking for any hard to find items in Australia, let me know and I may be able to help your purchase as well.

Shipping to Australia (by air mail) depends on the actual weight of the package, but I'll say it's between $10 - $15 AUD. Let me know which items you want to buy, I'll pack it all up, go to the post office and get a quote on the shipping for you. Paypal.com is the easiest and fastest way to send me the money. You can even use a credit card if you don't trust me.

Here's what I have, click on the thumbnails for a *HUGE* photo. All prices are in Australian Dollars.

#2 Black Diamond C4, $95. Yellow, NEW. 37.3 - 64.3mm, 14kN, 158g. (I forgot to take a photo of this one, but it's like the other C4s, new in the bag).

Nine Trango Classic Wiregate carabiners, NEW. $10 each, or $80 for the whole lot (9). I bought a bunch of these as racking biners, these are what I have left unused. Weight: 40g, closed strength: 24kN, open strength: 8kN, gate opening: 28mm.

You think they are expensive? I was looking at some Australian retailer sites, it seems like all the cams are over $100AUD. But I'm willing to bargain if you want to make a lower offer. Yes, I am selling things higher than what I bought them for, I'm upfront about that. That's my motivation: to save the buyer some money, and to make a small profit. Otherwise I wouldn't be selling perfectly new gear I can use myself. I'm not trying to make a tons of money out of this, just a little extra cash to put into my savings.

With the exchange rate, that's even cheaper than US retail price. Maybe I should start buying gear from Oz? =)

Oh well, I now have a few new C4s on my rack.

How about Trango #1 max cam, anyone want one? Don't think these are available overseas yet, they are even hard to get in the US. *swinging a max cam like a pocket watch* You want a max cam... you want a max cam...
